Metyrapone for Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of metyrapone therapy in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Also, to determine the impact of metyrapone therapy on steroid profiling and circadian cortisol secretion and to determine the efficacy of metyrapone therapy on metabolic parameters, cognition, frailty, and senescence as initial proof-of-concept for a larger randomized clinical trial.

  • Diagnosed with MACS:
    • At least 2 abnormal post-dexamethasone cortisol results:
      • 1 mg post-dexamethasone cortisol > 1.8 mcg/d;  or
      • 8 mg post-dexamethasone cortisol > 1 mcg/dL;
    • Historical dexamethasone suppression test results can be used if performed within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Adrenal imaging phenotype consistent with benign disease (adrenal adenoma/s, macronodular or micronodular adrenal hyperplasia).
  • At least one of the following comorbidities:
    • Obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m^2);
    • Dysglycemia;

  • Ability to take oral medication and be willing to adhere to the study intervention regimen.
  • For females of reproductive potential: use of highly effective contraception initiated prior to baseline visit and for 1 month after completing metyrapone study.
  • For persons of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of <5% per year during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Stable timing for bedtime for at least one week prior to on-site study visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Planned alternative therapy for MACS within 6 months after joining the study.
  • Current use of oral exogenous glucocorticoid therapy.
  • Current use of opioid therapy > 20 MME/day.
  • Planned use of oral exogenous glucocorticoid therapy.
  • Planned use of opioid therapy > 20 MME/day.
  • Use of injectable glucocorticoid within the last 6 weeks.
  • Investigator’s judgement based on history/physical examination that a comorbidity or concomitant medication may impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis or steroid metabolome.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:
    • Ongoing or active infection;
    • Symptomatic congestive heart failure;
    • Unstable angina pectoris;
    • Cardiac arrhythmia;
    • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Known allergic reactions to metyrapone.
  • Suspected false positive post-dexamethasone cortisol results due to increased metabolism, poor absorption, or noncompliance with dexamethasone.
  • Treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention within lower than specific therapy washout period.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
